About this Modpack

This modpack is centered around the Kingdom Keys, Souls-Like Universe, Dark Souls Expansion, and Epic Fight mods. The goal of this modpack was to bring together the aspects of the Kingdom Hearts and Dark Souls series of games along with a visual spectical.

The Distant Horizon and terrain generation mods alongside the installed shader packs also aim to improve the visual experience of the modpack. Please note that these features are resource-intensive, so adjust settings carefully based on your system.

It's recommened to run the Modpack at least 5GB of allocated memory. When running at 10GB of allocated memory, it uses upwards of 8GB so please be aware this modpack is very memory intensive.

I also want to particularly mention Linzi's Neighborly mod which can be found bellow. While not added into the base modpack, I feel that it really emphasises the theme of connection and close bonds found in Kingdom Hearts so I recommend adding it to your game. (Plus I love Animal Crossing lol)

Frequently Asked Questions

Ashen Hearts server crashes or won't start – what to do?

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong forge loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 8 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.

How much RAM does a Ashen Hearts server really need?

Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €12/month).

Can I add custom mods to Ashen Hearts without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.

Ashen Hearts server lagging – performance tips

1) Increase RAM to 8 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
